Product Description

As featured in The Oprah Magazine Cookbook and O, The Oprah Magazine. This is NOT a simple version of Ras el Hanout found in cookbooks; this is AUTHENTIC! In Moroccan language, Ras el Hanout literally means head of the store or the best spice mixture a merchant has to offer. (also known as ras al hanout or ras el hanouth, raz al hanout or Moroccan Seasoning) Ras el Hanout is a spice blend that Zamouri Spices is proud to present as its best and most unique mix that any adventurous palate would love to experience. The secret of this mix and its recipe is passed down through generations. Native to Morocco, every spice vendor in the region has its own recipe. Zamouri's, too, has its original blend used only in the remote region of Zamour (North Africa Atlas Mountains) for a thousand years. Ingredients from over 30 different herbs and spices include: Grains of Paradise, Lavender, turmeric, ajawan seeds, kalajeera, ginger, galangal, oris root, rose buds, monk's pepper, cinnamon and more! (Sorry, no spanish fly. It is illegal in the USA) This blend is claimed to have aphrodisiac properties. Used mostly during cold seasons by locals, but it is essential in B'Stilla (Almond Chicken Pie) and nearly every Moroccan tagine recipe, especially Chicken Tagines. You can add a pinch or tsp to your favorite soup or stew or rub it into meats before cooking.

While planning a tapas dinner, we sampled an excellent roasted pork tenderloin rubbed with Ras El Hanout, a Moroccan spice mixture of over 30 spices in its most traditional version. Even our local metropolitan spice emporium didn't have it. We were delighted to locate it from this seller on Amazon. A wonderful spice mixture from a vendor who shipped promptly. I look forward to trying it added to a stew and rubbed on other meats. Ras El Hanout 4 Oz By Zamouri Spices

4.0 out of 5 stars Really authentic Moroccan spice blend, January 6, 2011

As with many ethnic spice mixtures, there is no one recipe for Ras el Hanout. Each family and spice merchant has their own, highly treasured and guarded version of this traditional blend. This particular product is of high quality and arrived fresh (which isn't always the case with spices that I have purchased on-line).

Ras el Hanout starts off with strong, curry-like flavors that betrays it's Indian origins followed by subtle, traditional African flavors such as nigella and rosebuds. Although I was very pleased with this blend I do think that it is over-priced. I shop for most of my spices at ethnic markets (mostly Indian and Middle Eastern) and find their mixtures to be not only fresh but REALLY affordable. I am using this mixture with my new tagine and if I use it often enough I will seek out an African grocery store that has a similar product at a price that Moroccan expatriates will be willing to pay. If you don't live near a city that is large enough to have that type of store, then I think that this is the best Ras el Hanout available on-line. As a matter of fact, a tangine cookbook that I bought recently singled out Zamouri as THE source for this delicious, exotic blend.
